About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, 32 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

For a typical Manchester heating season running from October frost to May thaw, plan on 2 to 4 full cords depending on how much you rely on wood heat versus a furnace or other backup.

A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.

While you are prepping for winter, check out our bulk mulch and stone options for Manchester properties, ideal for insulating garden beds or firming up walkways before the ground freezes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack with the bark side up to shed moisture, and leave gaps between rows for airflow. In Manchester's humid falls, a simple three sided lean to with the open face away from prevailing winds keeps snow and rain off while letting wood continue drying before your first real cold snap in October.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local oak and maple both burn long and hot, but oak takes longer to catch, so start fires with faster igniting ash or smaller splits before adding your denser oak rounds. A moisture meter reading under 20 percent is what you want before burning, since anything wetter will hiss, smoke, and rob you of heat exactly when Manchester's cold demands the most from your stove.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer rather than waiting until the first frost hits around October 1. Wood ordered early has extra weeks to finish drying near your home before you need it, and you avoid the scramble that hits local suppliers once Manchester's first cold snap sends everyone rushing to fill their woodsheds at once.

Wood Heat in Manchester

Manchester winters run long, with frost typically arriving by October 1 and lingering into May, which means many households are feeding a wood stove or fireplace for six months or more. Green wood simply cannot keep up with that stretch, it smokes, smolders, and leaves creosote buildup in chimneys during our coldest stretches. Our seasoned hardwood, mostly oak, maple, and ash sourced near Manchester, is dried down to burn hot and clean through Zone 5b cold snaps. Sandy loam soils around the region support strong hardwood growth, giving us dense wood with good BTU output. Properly seasoned wood also handles New Hampshire humidity swings better, staying drier through wet autumns before your heating season begins.

Local Hardwood Species

Expect dense regional hardwoods like oak, hickory, maple, and ash. These species burn longer and hotter than softwoods, which is what you want when a cold snap settles in and the stove runs all day.

Seasoning and Moisture

Firewood needs 6 to 12 months of drying before it burns well. Properly seasoned wood lights faster, throws more heat, and keeps creosote out of your chimney, which matters most in the coldest weeks of the year.

Buy Local, Burn Local

Firewood that travels long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer. Our wood is cut and seasoned close to where it is delivered, which protects local trees and means fresher wood for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How much firewood do I actually need to get through a Manchester winter?

Most Manchester households burning a few nights a week from late fall through April use between 2 and 3 full cords. If your stove is your primary heat source rather than a supplement, plan closer to 3 to 4 cords given our roughly six month heating season.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?

Seasoned means the wood has been cut, split, and air dried for months until moisture content drops low enough to burn efficiently. In our humid New England climate, unseasoned wood holds moisture longer than in drier regions, so buying already seasoned wood saves you from smoky fires and poor heat output during our coldest weeks.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Manchester area, primarily oak, maple, and ash. These species are dense and burn long and hot, which matters when you are trying to keep a house warm through a January cold snap.

Answer

Is this firewood really sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, all our wood is sourced near Manchester rather than trucked in from far away. Firewood should always be bought close to where it will be burned because moving it long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already impacted ash trees across New Hampshire.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose your cord size and delivery date, and we bring the wood loose to your driveway on a truck. Stacking is not included, so plan to have space cleared and someone available to move it if you want it stacked right away.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is about a quarter of that volume, the third cord about a third, and the half cord roughly half, so you can scale your order to match your storage space or how much of the heating season you need to cover.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Manchester?

Manchester falls under New Hampshire's general open burning and air quality guidelines, so it is worth checking with the fire department before any outdoor burning, though indoor wood stove use for heat is standard practice across the city and surrounding towns.
